For years, cancer patients across South Gujarat have had to travel hundreds of kilometres — to Surat, Ahmedabad, or Mumbai — just to access advanced diagnostic imaging. That distance isn’t just inconvenient. It delays diagnoses, drains family savings, and costs precious time when time matters most.
That changes today.
21st Century Cancer Care has launched Aveksha — Valsad district’s very first PET-CT Scan centre — right here in Vapi. For the first time, one of the most powerful tools in modern cancer diagnosis is available locally, at just ₹8,000 per scan.
Why PET-CT Matters
A PET-CT scan combines two technologies to give doctors an exceptionally clear picture — not just of where a tumour is, but of how active it is. This makes it indispensable for detecting cancer early, staging it accurately, and tracking how well treatment is working. It’s the kind of precision that saves lives.
Until now, that precision simply wasn’t accessible in this region without significant travel and expense.
A Milestone for South Gujarat
The launch of Aveksha is more than the opening of a new facility. It’s a statement that world-class cancer care doesn’t have to be a privilege reserved for those who can afford to travel to metro cities. With this initiative, the Nadkarni Foundation and 21st Century Cancer Care are bringing hope closer to home — to the patients of Vapi, Valsad, Daman, and the communities surrounding them.
For families already bearing the emotional and financial weight of a cancer diagnosis, having advanced diagnostics nearby — at an affordable price — can make an enormous difference.
New Hope, Right Here
Aveksha represents a new chapter in healthcare for this region. If you or a loved one has been advised a PET-CT scan, you no longer need to travel far. Expert-level cancer diagnostics are now available in your own district.
